    Hi JotForm,

    I am a travel agent specializing in Group travel. I would like to use jotform for members to send me cc#, passport #, loyalty # etc so I need a secure way to transfer information. This will help me manage my groups and prevent me from having to talk to each group member when deposits and final payments are due.  I'll be calling in my this information to suppliers as I get them.  I will not use Payment Processing as I'll be calling the numbers in directly.  Did I understand correctly that JotForm will not allow me to do this?

    Thanks,

    Diane
